Numbering the Strings 

The strings on the guitar are numbered from the thickest and lowest pitch string (6th), which is closest to you, to the thinnest and highest pitch string (1st), which is furthest away.

The notes of the strings from lowest (6th) to highest (1st) are:

E(6) A(5) D(4) G(3) B(2) E(1).
